thats because martins are inconsistant and overpriced. especially when it comes to brazillian rosewood

I play a Martin D-15 and a beater Crestwood. Martins are not overpriced, according to your fanatastic wishlist, Taylors are.

i'm a taylor guy, but martin has been making amazing guitars for over 100 years....they deserve a bit of respect i think...

Taylors and Martins are 2 totally different guitars.

If you want a guitar to play in a full band with, pick up a taylor, it is going to cut through the band, thus allowing you to be heard better.

Do you want to play solo sets? Get a Martin. It has a much fuller, soft tone than the Taylor.

I hate Martin vs. Taylor debates. They are worthless. Like they always say...The right tool for the right job...

umm when i have enough money to get those guitars some of the woods could be endangered, not to mention the inlays on 3 out of 4 are very intricate, as well as the binding being expensive, the woods being high grade, the construction being expensive (for the florentine cutaway), and the overall guitars being very unique....

a $3000 indian rosewood martin with barely any abalone is way too overpriced... and a brazillian rosewood martin with hardly any cosmetics at all is not worth $10000...

Agreed. Always turns into one side bashing the other side, changing facts around so that they will make their favorite guitar look much better (no names, no names).

I have a 1970's Madeira...Such a beautiful guitar...Guild's old import model (like Epiphone to Gibson). It was great then I put elixir strings on it...OMG was it even better...I have played an Ibanez AEGbk10, but the action was way low and every chord had a buzz.
I love you oh so well, like a kid loves candy and fresh snow.
